    I’m beginning to wonder if the last man standing in the free world will shout “this was not terrorism” when surrounded by dead bodies and Isis flags waving above the White House and Downing Street. Because its sure as hell heading that way.

    Watching the Labour elektzione-fest in masochist mode it occurred that the people behind this democratic travesty are the very same as the derided T. Blair created for our delight. That wondrous concept of Education, Education, Education, a uni-place for all, resulted in a huge upsurge of what have proved to be semi-educated degree-level nonentities, some qualified to an extent but all boasting a ‘university education’ despite the sad fact that in a great many cases their time, and ours, has been wasted – except politically.
    Politically, the people behind Corbyn and Macdonald – and he’s the one to worry about, not that ‘Nice Jeremy’ – are the rabble of scruffs, antis and anarchists who have and will demonstrate, strike, sit down, disrupt and in as many ways as they can try to destroy our society – because they know that theirs is better. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot all thought the same way. For an overwhelming number, it’s all they have to do, all that motivates them, and they now represent The Labour Party in all its glory, backed by the benevolent Len McClusky, Serwotka, Hatton, Livingstone and all their seedy unprincipled ilk.
    And what is even more pernicious is that the BBC, and people like Norman Smith and Evan Davies and Kirsty Wark and Owen Jones and John Pienar and Orla Guerin and Fergal Keane and a host more on £200k for all their efforts lord bless ’em, all know this. They know that Corbyn and Momentum and the like aren’t interested in government, they just want to bring governments down. They even think that Corbyn’s message will resonate with ‘the working man’ ignoring, as only such gifted and socially aware can, the fact that working men and women now vote UKIP and Leave.

      The entertainment has only just begun as far as the Labour Party is concerned. Corbyn as leader consigns the party to opposition until he is ousted. That will not suit ambitious young things like Chuka Ummuna. Now, Obama-lite and his generation must devise a way to get rid of Corbyn or they must split away from Labour. They know they must do one or the other if they are ever to get anywhere near No10. Also, the longer they leave it the more they are tainted by Corbyn’s malign influence. Shame to waste such a talented generation of Labour politicians…ha ha ha.

                  The point has been made here before but is worth repeating. When Ian Gow MP was murdered by the IRA in 1990, the Lib-Dems nevertheless contested the resulting Eastbourne by-election and won the seat. What is different with Jo Cox? Autres temps, autres moeurs? Or is it because a Lefty was murdered this time?

    It’s clear that Corbyn and McDonnell are now the chief pigs in this animal farm. Will those 172 MPs who voted against Corbyn during the vote of no confidence now bow to their leader and proclaim, “Four legs good, two legs bad,” or will they resist and be subject to be “deselected” during a purge or worse?

    And if they resist, what form will the resistance take? They can hardly go knocking on the door of the Tories or Libdems so what do they do?

    I suppose they will just hang in there and hope that Corbyn and his cronies don’t do too much damage.

    PM on R4 today. Talking about Syria and Assad (for a change) they had the former British Ambassador for Syria (Peter Ford?) on air. I feel that he urinated on the presenters bonfire when he insisted on putting the case for the Syrian government’s side. Worth a good listen at about 22:20 minutes. Full item in normal support of the rebels/terrorists from19 mins.
    Swiftly followed by an item on mushrooms,yes,really.

    NB: Listened to a small part of Any Questions. I felt nauseous at Baroness Chakraborty’s spewing of bilge and if I hear NHS, bus, £350milion again I may take a contract out on someone. I must’ve heard it 349,000,000 times courtesy of the Beeb now.

    I notice a change on the beebistan report on Washington mall shooter. The suspect is now described simply as ‘a male’, no longer Hispanic. It’s a small thing but could it be that someone knows something, either at the beeb or upstream? Or could it be that the early disinformation has done its job, the plebs have been thrown off the ‘terrorism’ trail, and as the story begins to cool and lose topicality the truth can be slowly allowed out – or at least more neutral reporting allowed in.
    Maybe I’m getting paranoid – but hey, the machiavellic beeb does that to you.

      “On Saturday morning, Cammock said the basis for the shooter’s ethnicity was primarily based on security-camera images of a man with “dark hair” and with a darker complexion.

      “I suppose the race could be anything,” Cammock said. “You can take a look at the photo yourself.””

      Pretty laid back approach considering the serious nature of the crime. Not quite right is it.

        In their latest news bulletin the beebistan are lumping the shooting in with the ‘continuing epidemic of gun violence’ – the angle being their preferred position that it’s all the fault of those right-wing gun lobbyists (and NTDWI).

        Personally I wouldn’t describe him as “dark complexion”. I would say he looks more Norwegian, maybe a French national.

        Likewise this news shouldn’t be about a “gunman” but rather a “gun attack” to be in line with the “Nice lorry attacks”. The human that is present during the attacks is superfluous.

        The picture isn’t great. The man is certainly dark complected, but I defy anyone to say he is Hispanic rather than Middle Eastern.

        The rifle looks pretty small, and may be a .22, which is quite quiet compared to a full bore rifle, and may explain why the ear witness thought she heard balloons popping.

        Objectively, until we know more, you would have to say that islamic terrorism is a possibility. For the police to rule it out at this stage is politics, not police work. The more islamic terror attacks before the election, the more chance of Trump winning.

      It’s very strange when you compare it to all other mass shootings, in Europe and the US. The mall where the shooting took place compliments itself on its high levels of security, yet no decent images to identify the terrori…sorry shooter. Th media do not seem overly concerned about the identity, more concerned about the motive, or what is not the motive.

      This is the latest comment on Breibart.
      “No One Important • a few seconds ago

      Comonnnnnnnnnnnn man. . we had wall to wall coverage of escaped convicts. . .this mass shooter is still on the loose. . .and not a single update?

      They found the rifle. . . .and no ID?

      Still haven’t identified him?

      We don’t have clearer images from the security footage? Why the “pic of a pic” grainy image, shot at an angle?

      Not a single word about search areas? Where he “might” be? Who we should be looking out for?

      This is nuts man. . . .when you have a mass shooter out on the loose, and not a peep about an update? Not a single witness is out there talking to other media people like Fox?”

        I agree ray. I suspect that when stories like this shooting break, there is high level intervention to, at the very least, ‘manage’ the police operations and ‘massage’ the reporting. Some of the pressure may be overt (a word in a police chief’s ear, a call to some editors, most of whom are sympathetic anyway) while some may be self-imposed and self-censoring, probably a mixture.

        Bear in mind that at this crucial time in the US elections, any act of terror, especially islamic, could swing it for Trump, the anti muslim, law-and-order candidate. The stakes are high, I expect the pressures are intense too.

          So they must know who he is to make that statement. So they must be withholding his identity. Isn’t that putting lives in danger, as his whereabouts could be known by people who know who he is?

          Maybe US citizens will not find out who he is until after the presidential debate on Monday.

            You may be right ray, but I suspect it’s more a case of ‘standard procedure’ nowadays, for all Western police forces: First priority, deny any link to terrorism (meaning islamic terrorism of course), even though you haven’t a clue who the perpetrator is or his motives.
            Thus the risibly contradictory statements that are now the norm: ‘Motives unknown… no link to to terrorism’ often in the same sentence!
            Remember that for a variety of reasons it is crucial for all governments to bury news of terrorist acts on their watch, e.g. Germany and Sweden, soft on (huge) islamic immigration; US with islamic terrorism as a major election issue; France with civil war not far away and Le Pen standing to win.

                Very suspicious. Spree shooters usually keep on killing until they have had enough, and then either kill themselves or are killed by the cops. It is essentially a form of extreme narcissistic suicide. They know they are not getting out of it alive.

                This attack does not follow that pattern. The shooter has ditched his rifle and made good his escape. He is now at large, and must be considered to be armed and dangerous. He has killed five people in cold blood. There should be a massive manhunt for him, but all we are getting is pabulum to the effect that it is nothing to do with terrorism.

    I am puzzled by the BBC’s dislike of Assad. After all, he is an implacable enemy of Israel, so surely that should make what there is of the BBC’s collective heart go out to him? And why would the BBC be against Russia when the country has always backed and armed the Arabs against Israel?

    A few years back, John Humphries was gritting his teeth while interviewing William Hague and trying to convince him to bomb Assad (and at the same time trying to pressure him to tell the Israelis not to bomb Iran).

    I suppose for the BBC Assad and Putin are not quite committed enough to the destruction of Israel and the BBC is therefore scouting around amongst the rebels and ISIS to find someone to support.

      Pete its the same with the BBC Trump pics… Ahhhhhh the bias, ever so subtle but so so effective

      One of my understandings of how powerful the MSM are (BBC leading the way) is that every time I go to Spain I see Spanish flags everywhere and am in awe of the pride they display. Whereas in Britain, the MSM have single handedly turned the St George’s Cross into something that denotes a BNP meeting. I know its slightly different up north but in London I see more Brazilian flags than I do English! It is a disgrace. Only in Britain…

    But what’s this? The Express informs me that Scandinavia is in flames, with an explosion of rioting and violent crime of all sorts, from rapes to car arsons.

    Surely the beebistan would have told me if this were true? Yet nary a murmur.

    Sweden alone now has 55 no-go areas – you know, those no-go areas that our Evan was so angrily denying they existed in UK. (He was weally weally angwy.)

    Civilised, peaceful, progressive, tolerant, liberal, immigrant-friendly Scandinavia, once the envy of the world. What could possibly have brought about this transformation?

    Some headlines below.

    “SWEDEN IN CHAOS: Number of ‘no-go zones’ INCREASED as police lose control over violence

    SWEDISH police are losing the battle against increasing levels crime and violence in the country as now 55 areas have been labelled as “no-go” zones.

    Over the past three months, Malmö, which is Sweden’s third largest city, has suffered a surge of organised crime as more than 70 cars have burned out in arsonist attacks.

    Several other Swedish cities have also been plagued by thugs setting cars ablaze, according to local media.

    Scandinavia burning: Arson attacks spreading across THREE borders as thugs rampage

    EXCLUSIVE: ARSONIST thugs have launched attacks across THREE countries as Scandinavian nations struggle to control the inferno rampage.

    The increasing fire attack in the Scandinavian country appears to have spread to Denmark in the last months, as more than 40 vehicles have been torched since August.”

    “”A folk festival has banned Morris dancers in black face make-up after it received complaints they could cause racial offence””

    “”Jonathan Hyams from Fresh (Fairness, Respect, Equality Shropshire) said the group had contacted festival organisers after a complaint from a member of the public””

    “”Joseph Bond: “Has everyone missed the irony that all those complaining and bemoaning this progressive decision are white?””

        One of the historic reasons for the face blacking is bound up with the Black Act, where poachers who blacked their faces to avoid detection were sentenced to death. Nothing to do with the protected effniks which white elites want to parade as life’s victims.

        From Wikipedia

        The Black Act (9 Geo. 1 c. 22) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain passed in 1723 in response to a series of raids by two groups of poachers, known as the Blacks. Arising in the aftermath of the South Sea Bubble’s collapse and the ensuing economic downturn, the Blacks gained their name from their habit of blacking their faces when undertaking poaching raids. They quickly demonstrated both “a calculated programme of action, and a conscious social resentment”,[1] and their activities led to the introduction of the Black Act to Parliament on 26 April 1723; it came into force on 27 May. The Act introduced the death penalty for over 50 criminal offences, including being found in a forest while disguised, and “no other single statute passed during the eighteenth century equalled [the Black Act] in severity, and none appointed the punishment of death in so many cases”.[2] Following a criminal law reform campaign in the early 19th century, it was largely repealed on 8 July 1823, when a reform bill introduced by Robert Peel came into force.

    The Hispanic Washington mall shooter turns out to be Arcan Cetin, a Turkish born naturalized US citizen. ‘Arcan’ should ring a few bells with any Serbs in the area but, that apart, the problems of Hispanic Turks have long been a thorn in the side of ISIS (Daesh) progress. Their inability to grasp many significant Koranic hadiths, due to mixing and misinterpreting Spanish and Arabic, has built massive psychological stresses and can result in demonstrations of frustration, frequently featuring explosive devices and firearms. A UN paper on the subject is being finalised and this is expected to feature in any prospective defence at Cetin’s trial.

    “The BBC’s Laura Bicker in Washington, who has seen the video, says it does not clear up the key question of whether Mr Scott had a gun, or if he pointed a gun at police.”

    Of course he didn’t point the effing gun at the police! The job of the officer is to prevent that happening, otherwise the story would be about a police officer being killed by a black ‘gangsta’, although of course that wouldn’t even be considered newsworthy at the BBC.

    There was no need to say anything about a gun being pointed, it’s totally irrelevant. Very subtle though.

      BBC must have their knickers in a twist trying to spin the reporting of a black man shooting dead a black man.

      But it looks like Lady Luck has blessed the BBC once again as the article states:
      “Mr Scott’s mother, Vernita Scott Walker, told South Carolina broadcaster WCSC he was probably reading the Koran.
      She said he read the Islamic holy book every day, often while waiting for his son to get off the bus.”

      So it’s not blacks killing blacks but an innocent killing of a man following the Religion of Peace. The BBC have no problem reporting the religious beliefs of the person being killed but it always seems to be omitted if a RoPer is doing the killing.

    Considering the exceptional coverage of the migration into Europe of over one million migrants I have never or am not aware of a report by the BBC of the logistics required to move such a large number of people. We had everything else, the numbers of woman and children the heartbreak etc etc but not how it was carried out and by whom. We were told they were Syrian refugees fleeing that dreadful conflict …but not the numbers from Iraq Pakistan or Afghanistan.
    It just occurred to me that operation overlord might be similar in logistics but operation Overlord transported ONLY 130,000 troops!!
    Surely questions need to be asked by the BBC?

    In order to get the expeditionary forces to the French coast on D-Day, an exceptional logistics operation had to be mounted, code named Neptune. The invasion fleet was to comprise around 4,300 vessels of every shape, size and nationality. Once these arrived off the Normandy coast, they would disgorge the 2,600 landing barges intended to carry the assault troops as far as the beaches.
    In the early hours of June 6th 1944, an armada of ships manned by 150,000 seamen transported 130,000 men and 20,000 vehicles across the Channel to open up a decisive breach in the Atlantic Wall.

    Operation Neptune, a logistical feat in itself, was now followed by a new and equally crucial phase: keeping the fragile bridgehead supplied so that it could withstand the inevitable German counter-attacks

Still, would we expect anything else from the lefty Gardianista Naughtie? Well, no not really! What we should have from the BBC is balance, and we are not getting it.

    Just a thought, but what if the whole ‘Bake Off’ scenario is a set-up? You’ve got a programme costing C4 £75m with three of its four presenters not jumping ship – surely a far-fetched situation, even for the masterminds of TV boards, when the whole viability of the venture is compromised from the start? Surely someone would have checked before talking contracts?
    You’ve got the tacky trio expressing loyalty for the Beeb – an invaluable bit of PR that could be well worth 75m, especially when it’s not your money, while an aggressive, confrontational hetero male – who it’s not difficult to imagine would get on the other three’s tits, figuratively speaking, goes it alone. Heavens, he might even have questioned the voting which enabled Nadiya to become a ‘personality’, who knows? So Paul’s going for the big bucks and individual stardom, but is the loveable lad the fall guy? Has he rubbed too many feministas up the wrong way – in a metaphorical sense, of course? Has he been persuaded to jump, without those troublesome contract and compensation problems to complicate his departure?

    Sunday Moaning Live was interesting. Apparently we have a housing crisis in Blighty. We had the usual herd of yapping, ethnic lefties and the token old right winger, Freddie Forsythe. We were told that the housing fiasco was due to too many elderly; people are not dying early enough apparently, the selfish swines.
    Others told us that we weren’t building sufficient housing. Another lectured us about greedy landlords.
    I think that there is a smidgen of truth in all of these, but the overwhelming problem with housing is too many people coming to live here! No country, let alone one as small and heavily populated as ours, can continue with a MILLION more people coming to live here every three years. It can’t be sustained. It’s bound to create a shortage. That will mean houses are at a premium and in turn property prices and rents will increase. It’s not just housing, it’s schools, hospitals, the infrastructure, the general overcrowding.
    Talk about the elephant in the room. The bloody creature could have been sitting there cross legged on the sofa playing the clarinet and the panel would have studiously ignored it.

    They also refer to Indian people as “b******s” and “p**s-drinking c***s”.

    In his rant, in which he inserted asterisks in the most offensive words, Mr Anwar said: “Why the F***k do #pakistaniartists want work in #f*** face #india, do you love money so much.”acceptable, racially offensive’ comments about Indian people.

    Nothing on the BBC website about this, and if this had been someone white the political correctness enforcement squad would have hauled him off to prison without charge or a hearing !

      He was merely voicing what almost all of his co religionists think. Of course if one of us to give voice to what we think of those of Pakistani heritage , as the BBC usually put it , we would locked up for the newly invented offence of hate crimes.

    Now on LBC, Maajid Nawaz, strangely is being anti-lefty and even spoke up against Islamic violence ..and is basically saying Obama is a failure. He’s having an expert on who says Trump will win.
    Discussion :1) Obama’s presidency 2) US presidential debates 3) Royals in Canada.

    BTW a commenter said
    “Obama won a Presidency and a Nobel peace prize for not being white.”

      That Australian television station ought to lose its licence to broadcast. That is an evil stunt made even worse by delierate lies and distortions – but I’ll bet it’s given the BBC some food for thought. Watch a few more stunts like this on BBC, Sky, Channel 4 etc.

      Of course the BBC tried to pull one like that against the Queen a few years back but were caught out (with few consequences if I remember correctly).

        Demon, was that when the BBC broadcast a programme that was edited to show Her Majesty storming out of a meeting in anger, when in fact she was rushing to GET to the meeting and was annoyed that she’d been held up? The BBC as I recall claimed it wasn’t their fault and it was all the fault of some bigger boys (ie, an external production company) who did it and ran away.

    The BBC, CH4 and Sky News UK have gotta be hoping Trump makes a gigantic fool of himself in tomorrow’s Presidential Debate with Hillary. I wish I could be hopeful that he won’t trip himself up, let alone get fooled into making a dumb comment by Hillary’s sophistry and misdirection.

    This is going to be a very precarious 24hr news cycle, with the massed-ranks of the liberal media (i.e. all of the media) primed and ready to pounce the moment Trump gives them even the smallest of openings.

    Meanwhile, get ready for the hagiographies just waiting to be published, celebrating Queen Hillary’s ‘magnificent’, ‘confident’, ‘commanding’ performance in tomorrow’s debate.

    It’s making me feel ill just thinking about it…

      Wouldn’t it be a pity if the studio lights caused Hillary to overheat. We could then enjoy the spectacle of her doing the zombie walk on prime time tv. The fun wouldn’t stop there though as we would then be able to laugh at the MSM trying to polish the turd as they desperately try and resurrect, an apt phrase, Hillary’s campaign.

        It’s certainly going to be interesting. Mr Trump could give a new version of the Gettysburg Address and would be made out to be a halfwitted bigot, whereas Mrs Clinton could do nothing except mumble incoherently and keel over, and the media would still make out she’d won the debate.

      Yep it will be like one of those European Cup matches in the 60’s against Italian sides who had made the ref an offer he couldn’t refuse. You can score as many as you like but none will be allowed and the ref will give the Italians a penalty or two just to make sure. Unless Hillary dies on stage there is no chance the media won’t declare her the winner by a mile. Just like Mr Farage and Clegg when they debated.

    The murder of the Czech guy in Poplar looks increasingly like it wasn’t racist as the BBC has not so indicated.
    Nor was it a single punch death as he was murdered with a metal chain.
    One has to deduce from this that the killers were not white.
    The police say they “retain an open mind as to the motive for the attack.”
    Now move along please.

    So have you heard about the murder of a Christian writer in Jordan this morning. Here’s the bBC’s version of events:
    Jordan writer in blasphemy case Nahid Hattar killed
    A Jordanian writer charged with offending Islam after allegedly sharing a satirical cartoon on his Facebook page has been killed…..The cartoon he shared depicts a bearded man lying in bed with two women and smoking, asking God to bring him a drink.

    Just a bearded man bBC? Here is what the bBC doesn’t want you to know:
    Christian arrested by Police and then shot dead outside court for making fun of ISIS.
    56 year Jordanian writer Nahed Hattar posted a cartoon of a so called martyred ISIS terrorist in Heaven, in bed with 2 women demanding that god brings him a drink . Titled ‘the God of Daesh ‘ it was meant to highlight the hypocrisy of those who claim to be doing the work of Allah next door in both Syria and Iraq….The cartoon features an illustration of God under the title “God of Daesh,” using the Arabic acronym for ISIS. He explained on Facebook that the cartoon made fun of “terrorists and how they imagine God and heaven, and does not insult God in any way”.

    Now i wonder why the bBC left out that salient snippet?
    The bBC, the propaganda arm of Intolerant Islam, paid for by you.

    If anything happens to a Conservative politician then it is clear that McDonnell should be arrested for complicity. This isn’t so much ITV bias as showing how fascists like McDonnell can get away with these comments when he is one of the most disgusting excuses for a politician in this whole country. He should be sacked as an MP – as he no doubt would if he had been a Conservative saying this about a Labour or SNP politician.

    With McDonnell backing claims for her lynching before the GE, I hold him largely guilty for the death of Jo Cox. Yet again Labour proves itself to be the Nasty Party.

      McDonnell is a disgusting excuse for a specimen of homo sapiens as there is to be seen, never mind a ‘politician’.
      Turn the words he used onto a less white politician and what would have happened?
      Scum, but he’s not alone.

      ‘Labour. Fucking you over since 1924.’ would be an apt motto.

      https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/18/john-mcdonnell-apologises-for-ira-comment-labour

      Quotes from the above:

      McDonnell said he rejected all political violence

      John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, has apologised “from the bottom of my heart” for suggesting in 2003 that the IRA should be honoured for the bombings

      ‘It’s about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle.

      ‘It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table.’

      The shadow chancellor also apologised for joking in 2010 that he would assassinate Margaret Thatcher

      http://www.antisemitismwatch.com/tag/john-mcdonnell/

      quote from the above:
      This included a 1985 piece, published during John McDonnell’s co-editorship spell at the newspaper, which compared the Israeli government to the Nazis by claiming it confined Palestinians to ‘concentration camps’.
      A few weeks later, the paper went on to endorse terrorist attacks against the country’s authorities, to counter what it called ‘the racism at the heart of the Israeli state’.
      When the Board of Deputies of British Jews met the Labour leader in February, although he told the delegation he opposed anti-Semitism “from any part of the political spectrum”, when highlighted that his past engagements with dyed-in-the-wool anti-Semites, including representatives of Hamas and Hezbollah needed to be acknowledged and a line drawn under them he only committed himself to “reflect further” on such connections. This does not go nearly far enough especially since we are talking about Holocaust deniers and terrorists. Moreover, since that February meeting Corbyn has not issued any formal response to his period of reflection!

        Unable to amend the above. I would have paragraphed the last bit as in th original.

        I would also have added that his total lack of an apology for pushing those evil comments about Miss McVey totally contradicts his previous claim, to reject all political violence, when he supports the vilest murderers in the world currently and also calls for political assassinations. He makes the stupidly evil Corbyn look relatively reasonable in comparison to himself.

    Story 1 the BBC have missed …

    PC Marcus Tyson has been risking his neck protecting the public, including Guardian writers and BBC producers, from the worst elements of society for 29 years. Now he is suspended and being investigated by Scotland yard. His horrendous crime? Kurdish yobs, who support the banned terrorist group the PPK, were giving vent to their anger by chanting “F**K the police” in the faces of police officers during a demonstration.

    One such venomous piece of work was standing in the way of an ambulance that had its lights flashing and sirens blaring. Despite being asked to move she didn’t, so PC Tyson shifted the terroist sympathiser, to allow the ambulance to save lives. She bellowed at PC Tyson to “get out of here”, to which he responded “you can’t tell me what to do in my country”.

    The activist wrote up a complaint against PC Tyson, lying about what he had said and so Tyson is now being investigated.

    BTW There is a video which clearly shows Tyson’s side is correct and the terrorist sympathiser is lying.
